I think the greatest Canadian is terry fox was a great canadian because he ran across canada and raised money for cancer
research and he has many followers that raise thosands of dollors for cancer research and terry belives that if we keep runing
we can put an end to cancer.

Terry fox didn't run so he could raise money to cure himself but everybody in the world who had cancer. Which means terry
has empathy that is why he is great.Terry ran an extrodanairy distance with only one leg which is very awesome for him.
Terry was running and then cancer came back and fell in a coma and died at 4:35 am.

The Marathon began on April 12, 1980, when Fox dipped his right leg in the Atlantic Ocean near St. John's, Newfoundland, and filled two large bottles with ocean water. He intended to keep one as a souvenir and pour the other into the Pacific Ocean upon completing his journey at Victoria, British Columbia. Fox was supported on his run by Doug Alward, who drove the van and cooked.

Terry fox was driving and was distracted by a nearby bridge construction Terry crashed in to a pickup truck and felt pain in his
